Yeni Mosque, Thessaloniki
The Yeni Mosque is a mosque in the city of Thessaloniki, northern Greece. It was built by Italian architect Vitaliano Poselli in 1902, during the Ottoman era, for the city's Dönmeh community, crypto-Jewish converts to Islam. However, when the Dönmeh had to leave the city during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, the mosque was abandoned.
